Spanish Settlement. After the discovery of Cuba by Christopher Columbus at october 28 of 1492, the spanish settlement started in the Island. The Colonizers arrived and once and for all they imposed customs, culture and ways, that anything had to see with who they constituted the autochthonous population until then.
On October 12, land was sighted. Columbus gave the first island he landed on the name San Salvador, although the native population called it Guanahani. Today, the island is part of the nation we call the Bahamas. Columbus continued to explore, and in addition to San Salvador, he spent time in Cuba and in Hispaniola. He firmly believed that he was in Asia. He even proposed that the island of Cuba was a part of China.
